Discussion Questions for Friday, September 2

You have two options if you'd like to get discussion credit for today's class:

  • You can still reply to the questions about Huizinga that I posted for Wednesday, August 31.

  • Or, you can visit the "YouTube Re-enactments" page I've created at http://all-play.wikispaces.com/youtube-reenactments and post an example of a YouTube re-enactment of another YouTube moment of "accidental drama" (the accidental drama of something like "Charlie Bit My Finger - Again !"). As I say there, this category does not include a whole host of related YouTube genres, and I want us to maintain the focus strictly on such re-enactments: not re-mixes, mash-ups, auto-tuning, etc., but rather people acting out, filming, and posting video of themselves trying to recreate scenes from already existing (and usually already viral) videos featuring real people (i.e., not created fictional characters) behaving as themselves (i.e., not acting). Provide both the original and the re-enactment.
